NT rules
What’s different in NT.
In the Territory, how you buy can matter as much as what you pay. A house and land package signed before 30 June 2027 may carry no stamp duty, which changes the cost of building against buying established.
- House and land package exemption: buy a house and land package from a building contractor in a single transaction, with the contract signed between 1 July 2022 and 30 June 2027, and you may be exempt from stamp duty.
- No means test and no value cap: the exemption isn’t means tested, and there’s no cap on the property’s value. The home must be a new, detached home, and the builder must have bought the land from a developer.
- Living in it: at least one applicant lives in the home within 12 months of completion, for at least 6 continuous months.
- Grants are separate: the Territory also runs home owner grants. Check nt.gov.au for the current amounts and dates.
- Established homes are assessed under the standard duty formula, which the calculator above estimates.
